From fetching your own belt to dodging a flying slipper or a wet sock, physical discipline was a shared rite of passage for generations of South Africans growing up. But looking back today, where do we draw the line between funny nostalgia and long-term childhood impact?

In this nostalgic yet eye-opening edition of Word on The Street on Afternoons with Zweli on 947, Zweli and the 947 family open up about the physical discipline they experienced from parents and grandparents and how those memories shape them today.

The conversation explores:


Relatable Anecdotes: Listeners call in with raw, funny, and bizarre stories of the household items used to enforce discipline.


The Lasting Impact: Examining the fine line between strict parenting and emotional scars that linger into adulthood.


The Generational Shift: How parenting styles in South Africa are evolving toward open communication, boundaries, and awareness of children's rights.

Tune in for a thought-provoking, hilarious, and deeply relatable discussion on growing up, changing times, and modern parenting.

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.  

Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.
